Haigh (Baker Towers), an award-winning, New York Times best-selling author, holds her readers captive from first to last page with an unflinching look at the human tragedies that lie behind every layer of the never-ending controversial national abortion battle. Her piercing character portrayals and eavesdrop-quality dialogue will have readers asking for her previous works.
Readers who enjoyed Haigh's Mrs. Kimble or Baker Towers and those who enjoy reading about the human condition will enjoy this book. ["This is a masterly collection. Highly recommended for fans of…Anne Tyler and Elizabeth Strout, who also excel at re-creating small-town life," read the starred review of the HarperCollins hc, LJ 2/1/13.—Ed.]
Highly recommended for fans of Haigh's novel Baker Towers, which features some of the same characters, and of Anne Tyler and Elizabeth Strout, who also excel at re-creating small-town life. [See Prepub Alert., 8/27/12.]
Winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award, as well as the Winship/PEN New England Award, the best-selling Haigh picks up where her Baker Towers left off, painting a portrait of company town Bakerton, PA, in a series of connected stories...
Initially, the story is told more blandly than one would expect from the fine Haigh, and the idea crawls uncomfortably around the reader's mind that she's soft-soaping the issue. By the end, though, the narrative is emotionally involving and ethically concise, reminding us that things are not always as they seem and that we must consider carefully how we judge others. Most fiction readers will want. [See Prepub Alert, 11/15/10.]
